This isn't a bad deal for an ST, and it looks standard, but is 210BHP:

Oh and Bluefin is £300 for.... EIGHT BHP... woop de woo...
It costs about £1800 PLUS labour...
The Rousch/Mountune upgrades, which are supported by Ford warranty?
I think they have only been released recently. Should be a nice used option in a few years... you can get Recaro's too.
He means they are like VTR performance wise - both the VTS and 106 GTi are a bit quicker than an ST.
Ford never intended it to be a contender for the Hot Hatch crown, it was pitched at younger drivers with cheaper premiums, which the Grp13 classification highlights.
Also, I don't see the...
The Clearkote stuff is renowned for being good on silver. Have a look at this silver specific kit:

That would make a great combo on silver (or white) for VERY reasonable amounts of money!
I've got a Fiesta ST - 172/182/197 eats it alive tbh
Also, the Bluefin adds about 15BHP for £300, which isn't great. There are a fair few ST's around putting out 210/220BHP, but they have 2.3L engines in them - a ridiculously costly conversion for the same BHP/Tonne as a 182.

Get yourself a US Gallon of Duragloss 901 (called 902 in Gallon form) for about £26... best shampoo about.
You don't need a wax on top of JetSeal, just layer it. Which paint cleaner are you using?
You can get all you need from Halfords in sunny Bescot :)
Megs Gold Class Shampoo - £6
AG SRP - £10 for 1L at the mo
AG EGP - £11 I think
Tyre dressing... whichever, but Megs Endurance is good for £7ish.
Then you have glass polish etc in your garage.
I'm still in the 'wanting to try everything' phase.
I THINK I am happy with Zaino now though, but have a constant niggle to try BoS...
I have spent LOTS in the past 6 months trying new stuff out.
They take ages to break down so you have to work them for a fair while - the Menz is more tempremental, but when on form, they are far easier to use.
Feel free to come to mine if you want to try the Menz out before buying some, I have all of the range.
